EA SPORTS - NHL 19 Invites Ice Hockey fans for Open Beta!

Enjoy the ice and the action before the worldwide release!

Today, EA SPORTS ™ invites NHL ™ 19 players to an open beta in which they can experience The World of CHEL: an evolution of the popular EA SPORTS Hockey League mode introducing a uniform progress and configuration system for home-made players. In the beta players can enjoy this experience in brand new game modes like NHL ONES, as well as modes like THREES Drop-In, EASHL Drop-In, Clubs Modes and Online Versus with the 31 current NHL teams.

With the progress and possibilities of The World of CHEL, offers NHL 19 players the freedom to create and control the player they always wanted to be. In the beta players can customize their skaters with 15 different characteristics and 21 different specializations. In addition, they can adjust their goalie with six characteristics and nine specializations. The beta also contains hundreds of unlockable items, such as (hooded) jackets, parkas and hats to create a unique look with lifestyle equipment and garments inspired by the league.

Real Player Motion (RPM) technology also makes its debut in NHL ™ 19, and beta players get the chance to experience the most realistic skating experience in the history of the series. Via Explosive-Edge skating you gain control, acceleration and creativity, so that you can keep up with the fast developments in today's NHL. You have never had so much control over how you go over the ice.

The open beta runs from today until 2 August. Players can download the open beta via the Xbox Marketplace or the PlayStation Store. Feedback on the NHL ™ 19 beta can be shared at the Open Beta Forum and by using the hashtag # NHL19Beta on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
